The Clan McLea/Livingstone Forum

I may have mentioned long ago when I was last in touch with you that my ancestor Miles Livingston b.1775 is also according to Miles a native of Morvern. Of which family or which village I have no way of knowing. He could have been born at Savary where some of the McINnes family went by the name of Miles or farther up the coast of Morvern. I am by no means certain. My suspicions are that Miles is also from Savary as our your family, but who knows.

To further complicate things there are records not only for Miles born at Morvern but also for a Myles Livingston baptised in 1775 on the Island of Lismmore. Were there two Miles Livingstons born in 1775, one at Morvern Parish and one in Lismore Parish. Or was my ancestor actually born on the Isle of Lismore and Miles was somehow mistaken at the time of his marriage. I am not certain that even the results of the DNA test will sort this out regretably, though it will tell us whether or not Mile is related in some way to the Barons of Bachuil that resided on the Island of Lismore for centuries. I will keep you posted on the results when they come in.
